The 140-kg laser metal printer still needs 6 kW of three-phase power, reactive-metal-powder handling, inert-gas purging, and dedicated post-processing to run.

Anycubic Kobra X Review: Purge-Saving Multicolor Printing on a Budget

Anycubic’s play for a super-duper cheap multicolor printer with less of the purge-related guilt is competent printer. The savings aren't as pronounced as Anycubic claims though, and long-term parts support is unclear in the company’s fast-changing line-up of machines.

That's a Lot of Cheese
Sovol's IDEX-toolchanger M1D 3D printer hit a milestone fairly quickly yesterday.

In an update on its campaign page, the company celebrated netting $2-million in pledges over the 130-minute window immediately following its launch. Things have slowed since then – 24 hours later and the total currently sits just north of $2.8-million. Putting things into perspective, the Snapmaker U1 netted $7-million in the same timeframe.

Hard Luck
Big trouble in Bondtech town this last week.

INDX Founders Edition units shipped with "hardened" steel nozzles that turned out to be... well, only kinda hardened – approx. 30 HRC on the Rockwell hardness scale compared to the 60 that's typical for heavy-duty abrasives-resistant printing. Basically, not up to the task of "zero fear of wear" as initially advertised.

After a wave of quiet product page edits and Bondtech and Prusa community discontent, Bondtech fessed up, admitting to bungling the messaging. It has promised to do better on that front, and is currently putting together a plan for redress for affected early adopters.

A Maker Spent Nine Months Building the Core One Mini Prusa Won’t Make

Normally an upgrade in the universe of Prusa means upcycling parts from your printer into a newer, more capable (or bigger) printer. An industrious maker has flipped this concept on its head and repurposed a Core One kit into an on-brand-looking Core One Mini. Why? To prove they could.

Fortunate 500
RatRig is discontinuing the 300 and 400 size versions of the V-Core 3D printer.

The company tells us the 500 (500 mm³ build volume) version of its open source, configurable 3D printer has long been the most popular size, and that production costs and keeping full inventory for the less popular 300 and 400 versions no longer made sense.

Right now, those models are up to 10% off on the RatRig webstore. Owners of 300 and 400 will continue to benefit from all warranties, support, and software compatibility, the company tells us, with spare parts remaining available for the foreseeable future.
